It's hip to be square!

There's a new effort afoot in the OpenSolaris world to build a community around using OpenSolaris (and Solaris) in high performance computing. If you're interested in HPC on OpenSolaris, head over to the OpenSolaris HPC Community and have a look-see.

As a product of the community, the HPC Stack project is attempting to define what software would be needed to build a complete and useful HPC software stack for OpenSolaris. Right now, the main discussion for the HPC stack project is actually happening on the HPC Community mailing list, but feel free to jump on either list and voice your opinion.

Keep in mind that both communities are still young and in an evolving state, but you should count that as a good thing. It gives you the chance to jump in early and make a big difference in the community and/or project direction. I'm looking forward to seeing your input on the lists!
